"The index of symmetric spaces"
A well-known result, first proved by Iwahori, states that an irreducible Riemannian symmetric space admitting a totally geodesic hypersurface must be a space of constant curvature.
Onishchik introduced the index of a Riemannian symmetric space M as the minimal codimension of a totally geodesic submanifold of M.
He then gave an alternative proof for Iwahori's result and also classified the irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces with index 2.
He also determined the index of Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank 2.
In the talk I will present some new ideas and results on the index of Riemannian symmetric spaces.
The new methods allow us to calculate the index for many, but not all, irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces M.
As a consequence we also obtain the classification of all non-semisimple maximal totally geodesic submanifolds of M.
We also show that the index is bounded from below by the rank of M, and classify all M for which the index coincides with the rank.
This is joint work with Carlos Olmos (Cordoba).
